Nov. 12, 2015 - PRLog -- A widely held view is that only wooden doors and doorframes are subject to size changes with the change of seasons. Most are aware of the fact that, due to humidity and moisture absorption, wood swells and expands. To believe that it is only wood affected by this in regards of houses, however, is a misconception. Due to the general structure of houses which feature them, and local environmental conditions, uPVC doors and frames are also frequently affected. Wentworth Solutions, the leading locksmith Northamptonshire is served by, are the regional experts in identifying when this problem is the cause of issues experienced with doors. They also offer an affordable and reliable way to repair the issue which avoids the expense and inconvenience of replacement.

One of the most common ways to determine whether or not uPVC door repair and maintenance is required is if it takes considerable effort to securely close it. Making the assumption that needing to force the door upwards in order to close it properly is a sign of age or wear and tear. This is incorrect. In cases where there is a need to force the handle of a uPVC door upwards this is an indication that swelling has occurred and needs to be addressed.

By forcing uPVC doors to close in this way there is a great deal of pressure placed on the hinge spindle and gears of it. Although most doors made to a high standard are robust, they are not designed or built to function correctly in conditions where seasonal changes have meant the size of the door or frame has altered. In cases where doors effectively need to be forced to close, the pressure created causes substantial damage that will eventually lead to the multi-point mechanism snapping. This is something which will leave the door jammed in such a way that it cannot be opened or closed at all.

Wentworth Solutions offer a service which ensures that the expensive and inconvenient problem of a door being jammed is avoided. When they are called on to inspect and check uPVC doors which are not working with the ease that they should it enables them to carry out maintenance and repair work which sees the door functioning as it should. Although each case is different, on average uPVC door repair saves some 50% - 75% of the cost of a full replacement. Maintenance and service provide a far more affordable and economically viable alternate to replacement.

Whilst Wentworth Solutions offer full uPVC door replacement services if required, their commitment is to excellence in client service. This means that they will always explore the most effective and affordable solution for their customers in respect of all the work they do. Wentworth Solutions are dedicated to ensuring residents of Northampton have affordable access to a world class level of Locksmith services.
